What Does FJ Mean?

[Trumpfan]

This I know: 1st letter is the engine series, FJ was the original gas powered north american truck, but there was also the BJ (yep I laughed too) powered by a B series diesel this was in the 40 and 70 series too, also the HJ powered by a H series diesel in 60 series, HDJ (80 series) HZJ gas (80 series) PZJ (70 series) LJ (70 series prado)
FZJ (80 series) and so on the first letter or two corespond to the type of engine in stalled in the J chassis.

The J? I no Idea man. Like it was mentioned before possibly because they were WWII jeep copies or it could have been a left over from some military designation.

Yep I need a life

FJ Cruiser

This model is named after the legendary FJ40-series Land Cruiser, hence the retro-look. In the FJ40-series Land Cruiser, the F stood for the engine code. The J is for the Land Cruiser chassis code, i.e., FJ40, BJ41, FJ60, HZJ60, HZJ70, FJ80, FZJ80, HDJ81V, UZJ100W, HDJ100W, URJ200, VDJ200... (N is for the Hilux/Tacoma & Hilux Surf/4Runner; E is for the Corolla)

Yes, there was a BJ40-series Land Cruiser but it was not sold commercially in North America so it was named the FJ Cruiser since the FJ40-series are more popular in NA than the BJ40-series.

Cheese....I thought it was funny.

On a serious note, good work guys, good to know what it means, I always assumed it was just a chasis designation of some sort.
